When placing single two-stage tooth and plate form implants, what is expected regarding osseointegration?

When placing single two-stage tooth and plate form implants, the expected outcome regarding osseointegration involves both the root form and the plate. The root form implant is designed to achieve direct osseointegration with the surrounding bone, which means that the implant will integrate biologically and mechanically with the bone tissue, providing stability and support for the restoration.

Simultaneously, the plate is often intended to support the soft tissues and may encounter a different healing response. In many cases, the plate does not achieve the same level of osseointegration as the root form but may exist in a state of fibrous integration. This means that instead of directly bonding with the bone, the plate has a connective tissue interface.

This dual integration process is important for the overall success of the implant system, as it allows for functional stability while accommodating the biological responses of different types of implant surfaces. Thus, selecting the response that reflects both osseointegration of the root form and fibrous integration of the plate accurately represents the expected healing outcomes for this implant configuration.
